Xiang Huan changed places, sat on a chair in the corner of the yard, and searched Yuncheng on his mobile phone.
She had never heard of this third-tier town in the north before.
Cheng Ye picked out this place, but she didn't know what it was that she liked here.
There are not many results from online searches. The main thing is that Yuncheng used to be the main producing area of coal mines in the country. After the resources have been exhausted in recent years, it is facing a difficult period of transformation.
To sum it up, it is a small place where the economy is not doing well.
Xiang Huan really couldn't see what attracted Chengye to this place.
Cheng Ye also came over and sat down at this moment and asked Xiang Huan what he had found.
"Why did you choose Yuncheng? You are still...using me, right?" Xiang Huan was feeling a little depressed and answered him in a bad tone.
"We just picked a suitable place to hide. We need it, don't we?" Narino glanced at Xiang Huan with some pride.
Xiang Huan understood what he meant, but he didn't know how Yuncheng was a hidden place and how Cheng Ye knew about it.
She asked directly, and Chengye didn't mince words and replied that he knew this from inside. An inmate in the prison cell came from Yuncheng.
This answer stepped on Xiang Huan's emotional point again. She paled when she heard it, stared at Chengye and said nothing.
Cheng Ye naturally noticed it. After a few seconds of silence, he grinned at Xiang Huan and said, "Don't be so sensitive. Yuncheng is not as bad as you think, I promise."
Xiang Huan put on his sunglasses again, raised his face and continued to look at the sky.
When Chengye's hand touched his cheek, Xiang Huan said that she understood and just go to Yuncheng. As long as they were together, they could go anywhere.
At around nine o'clock the next morning, an hour before Xu Jiandong arrived
Before, Xiang Huan dragged his suitcase onto the train.
As she and Chengye agreed, she would go to Yuncheng alone in advance.
The journey from Piantao Town to Yuncheng was not close. It took Xiang Huan seven hours to set foot on the land of a small northern town, and he even caught up with the sleet here.
The temperature in Yuncheng is minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is a standard winter rhythm. The north wind is also howling, which is a warning to Xiang Huan.
Although Lincheng, where I have lived since I was a child, can get freezing temperatures in winter, it is still warmer than here.
Xiang Huan was prepared in advance and took a taxi directly to Chengye. He asked a friend to rent a house for her. Xiang Huan could move in directly when she arrived. Her friend was waiting for her at the house.
He was originally going to pick up Xiang Huan, but Xiang Huan refused.
The journey went smoothly. Xiang Huan met Chengye's friend at the gate of the community.
He is a tall and thin man who introduces himself as Wang Yu.
According to what Narino said, the inmate who had been squatting together in the prison was released two months ago and returned to his hometown right after he came out.
Xiang Huan looked at Wang Yu, another friend Cheng Ye met inside, just like Xiao Wu.
Her first impression of Wang Yu was much better than her initial impression of Xiao Wu, and she seemed to have a good rapport with him.
Wang Yu was very enthusiastic, but not overly so. He took Xiang Huan to the rented house, behaved appropriately, and even took the initiative to make a video call with Cheng Ye.
Xiang Huan is looking at the rented house from house to house. The layout of three bedrooms and one living room is not bad, and the decoration style is decent.
Wang Yu asked her to go over and have a video chat with Cheng Ye, but Xiang Huan said no, and she would contact Cheng Ye later.
Wait until you are finally alone
, Xiang Huan sent a WeChat message to Cheng Ye, and called him only after knowing that it was convenient for him to make a video.
But as soon as they said a few words, Narino suddenly hung up the video, and there was no movement for more than ten minutes.
Xiang Huan was very cautious and waited until she took the initiative to contact him again, but with no news for so long, she began to feel bad.
After another hour of waiting, Xiang Huan was about to send a WeChat message to ask, when the video call from Chengye came in time.
It turned out to be a false alarm. Chengye just hung up the video because he suddenly had something to say because he wanted to talk to Xu Jiandong.
"He didn't ask, I
Where have you gone? Xiang Huan asked about Xu Jiandong.
Chengye at the other end of the video shook his head and said that Xu Jiandong hadn't asked about Xiang Huan since he arrived, and they only talked about follow-up issues at the old house.
Xiang Huan asked him when he could leave.
"There are still two days left. I still need to see Cheng Tianyu before I leave. I'll meet you at Marriage Town."
Xiang Huan was stunned. He had to report to Chengjia before leaving. Can he still leave?
Narino coughed on the other end of the video, "I will just disappear. Everyone can rest assured. You don't have to think blindly. Get acquainted with him in Yuncheng first. If you have any questions, please contact Wang Yu."
On the second day after arriving in Yuncheng, Xiang Huan went out by himself to get acquainted.
She didn't go with Wang Yu because she didn't think it was necessary. Yuncheng was such a small place and it shouldn't be difficult to get familiar with it.
Let’s talk about it if we really encounter something.
The weather is sunny after the snow, and there are more cars and pedestrians on the road than when we first arrived yesterday. It's easy to take a taxi, but there is no subway.
Xiang Huan planned to go to the business center first, go shopping in the supermarket, etc., so he took a taxi and asked the driver where the busiest place was.
The driver was very enthusiastic and introduced
After visiting several places, Xiang Huan finally got off at the entrance of the largest shopping mall in the city center, where the best supermarket in the city is located.
The basement level is a supermarket. Xiang Huan looked at the familiar name of the supermarket and was surprised that he drove here.
There are two supermarkets of this brand in Lincheng, and they are positioned as mid- to high-end ones. Xiang Huan never expected that they would open in a third-tier town.
Walking into the supermarket, Xiang Huan had the illusion that he was in a metropolitan city. When he came here, he was worried that his living habits would be difficult to adapt to, and his anxiety was reduced a lot.
There were not many customers in the supermarket. After Xiang Huan walked around, he pushed some of the things he bought to check out.
As soon as she paid the money, Narino sent her a WeChat message asking her what she was doing.
Xiang Huan took a photo of the supermarket and sent it to him, saying that he had just come out from the supermarket and was going to find a coffee shop to sit or find a place to eat.
Narino asked her to pay attention to her safety and asked her about her impression of the small place and whether the rented house was comfortable.
Xiang Huan carried his things and got on the elevator. The reply said that it was not bad, but he didn't see the coffee shop yet, so he would check it on his mobile phone later.
"There must be one, but maybe you don't like it. How about we open another one?" Cheng Weaving suddenly got interested and sent this message.
Xiang Huan got off the elevator, turned around and finally saw the familiar coffee chain sign, and walked over.
After arriving at the store and finding a seat to sit down, she replied to the message and said that she had just found a seat and sat down. She did have the idea of opening a store, but it was not a coffee shop.
Narino quickly asked what kind of store they wanted to open.
"I want to open a small shop specializing in beeswax, amber crystal, do you remember? I was obsessed with these for a while." Xiang Huan quickly typed.
For the next line of text, click the send button.
This idea came to her on the train yesterday.
It wasn't until the coffee he ordered was ready that Cheng Ye's reply came. He said he still remembered it and if Xiang Huan wanted to, it would be fine, then he would open one in Yuncheng.
Halfway through drinking the coffee, Xiang Huan took out another mobile phone and turned it on. The number she originally used was on it.
A dozen missed calls and WeChat messages quickly popped up.
There were messages from Xu Jiandong and messages from Xu Jiayi. Xiang Huan frowned. Since he could use his mobile phone, Xu Jiayi should have come out.
The WeChat message Xu Jiayi sent was just a few words, saying sorry to Xiang Huan, followed by a thank you.
Xiang Huan could completely understand the meaning expressed in a few simple words, and felt sad in his heart.
Xiang Huan wanted to end this relationship as soon as possible, so after thinking about it, he called Xu Jiayi directly.
But no one answered.
She had no choice but to send a WeChat message so that Xu Jiayi could contact her and have something to say.
When Xu Jiayi made a video call, Xiang Huan had already returned to the rental house. She didn't want Xu Jiayi to see the situation, so she hung up and called.
When the call was connected, I heard crying as soon as it came up. Xu Jiayi whined and said nothing on the other end of the phone.
Xiang Huan listened for a few seconds before speaking and asked Xu Jiayi where she was.
The other person finally spoke and replied that he was sitting by the river, just by himself.
Xiang Huan frowned. It was now past four in the afternoon. It should have been dark in Lincheng in winter, and the temperature outside was several degrees below zero.
Sitting outside by the river at this time is not asking for trouble.
The next second, another terrible thought suddenly popped out, Xiang Huanxin
It's tight inside.
"Why are you sitting outside when it's cold? Find a warm place and we can continue talking."
After Xiang Huan finished speaking, he didn't hear Xu Jiayi's response. He fed her twice but still didn't respond, and the call was suddenly cut off.
Something happened.
Xiang Huan tried calling Xu Jiayi's phone a few more times. After hearing the message that the phone was turned off, she called Xu Jiandong directly.
The call was answered very quickly, but after Xiang Huan fed him, the voice he heard was not Xu Jiandong's.
"I have to wait a moment to find him. I have to go to the bathroom. I didn't bring my phone with me." Narino's cold voice came from the receiver of the phone.
The words Xiang Huan was anxious to say were blocked in his throat after hearing Cheng Ye's voice. He didn't expect that it was Xu Jiandong's cell phone he answered.
Cheng Ye was silent. After Xiang Huan hesitated, he still explained the reason for looking for Xu Jiandong.
After hearing what she said, Cheng Ye spoke up and said that he would immediately find a way to find Xu Jiayi and let Xiang Huan wait for the news.
Although his tone was much better, Xiang Huan knew in his heart that he was angry.
